War in Ukraine

Vadym Sukharevskyi stands at the forefront of a game changing initiative: establishing the Ukrainian military’s Unmanned Systems Forces, a branch with no global equivalent.

With the 6-month delay in military aid for Ukraine finally ending, we speak to three Americans who volunteered to fight in Ukraine. They share their reasons for supporting a country far away from home.

Missiles, drones, artillery—the Ukrainian defense industry has reinvented itself since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Today, the challenge is to find sufficient funds for orders—to keep it going.

With $60.8 billion in fresh US aid, Ukraine hopes to withstand a looming Russian offensive. The package prioritizes long-range missiles and air defense systems, which are crucial to counter Russia’s overwhelming firepower.

Ukraine is all too familiar now with nuclear disasters. Over the last two years, Russia has been in control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant—Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia NPP. The question now is, could there be another Chornobyl on our hands?

From trench warfare to the use of modern technology, the war in Ukraine is one of contrasts. We look at the world's most mine-contaminated landscape and how robots and AI are being introduced to combat the crisis.
